FAQ

1. Why has full racial equality proven so elusive in spite of all the constitutional amendments, litigation, and legislation?

We believe the reason is that our community has been fighting anti-Black racism without attacking its root causes.

2. What makes CHN different from other organizations?

We are the leading organization working to end racism against Black people by focusing on its root causes: the ideologies of White superiority and Black inferiority. These ideologies form the foundation for both the devaluing of Black lives and the racial disparities between Black and White people.

3. Why now?

Given the resurgence of proponents of White supremacy, and the increasing assaults on the dignity and the lives of Black people, the time for this movement is now, and it is urgent.

4. Does CHN only provide healing for Black people?

CHN believes that intra-racial healing is a prerequisite for inter-racial healing. Each group must do its own work before we can hope to come together to heal across our differences. Although CHN is focused on addressing the needs of Black people of African ancestry, we help people of all races by raising awareness about, and helping to remove, the fundamental barriers to full racial equality. We are happy to suggest resources for other groups.

5. When does the Truth Tour start and is it coming to my city?

The Tour will launch from New Haven, Connecticut, in September 2018. The initial schedule will be released in the Fall. If you would like to sponsor a stop of the Truth Tour in your city, please contact us at TruthTour@communityhealingnet.org.

6. Is there a fee to attend CHN community events?

Sometimes. It depends on the event. But we always try to make sure that any necessary fees are not a barrier to participation.

Help us spread the word about the movement for emotional emancipation and the crucial work we are doing. Consider making a one-time or recurring donation to CHN. We need financial resources that are commensurate to the magnitude of the problem we are solving. No amount is too small!
